    What does it say about women speaking again?

    I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.”

      Paul probably didn’t write that paragraph of verses. It was most likely added by someone else along the way.

      To your point of people wanting to take only portions of the Bible literally and ignore others, there are TONS of things that the old testament says to do that we don’t do every day.

        A whole lot of the bible wasn’t written by Paul. Doesn’t mean its not part of the bible.

        Christians on old testament laws:

        • prohibition on eating pork: god actually didn’t mean we should stop eating pork. It was an accident bro.

        • prohibition on vaguely sexual acts without clear translation: this is the word of god, how dare these people exist

        Nah, I can see Paul saying that, I just cannot see Jesus (who was openly kissing women like men kissed men and basically publicly recognising them as equals! The horror, lol) saying that. 🤷

            Nowhere, actually, I must have hallucinated it (?!). Perhaps in some apocryphal gospel? Religious fiction? Sorry for spreading misinformation, I really thought I read it.

          Paul never even met Jesus. He had a vision that Jesus wanted him to be a disciple.

          Try having a vision that you are a billionaire CEO of some big Wall Street company and see how far that will take you?

            I feel like if I put enough production value into it I could get a following that goes for it.

            Kinda like how people think Elon is a genius not because of anything he did but because people paid to say he was one said he was one
